A sign was put up in the car park warning visitors about the changes several weeks ago.

Cornwall Council and Plymouth City Council, which in partnership manage Mount Edgcumbe House and Country Park, have now revealed why they've rolled out the £1 parking fee, taking motorists through the entire process.

In a joint statement, the authorities said: "We have recently introduced a £1 fee to park all day at Rame Head to help us offset the costs of running the public toilets there.

"We put a sign up in the car park several weeks ago to let people know of this change as well as the legal notification which appeared in the Cornish Times explaining the proposals and who to contact if they had any representations.
